Ireland West Airport Knock is a low-elevation field at 665 ft (203 m), positioned at 53.9104° N, 8.8170° W in the Northern high mid-latitudes. The runway snapshot lists 1 runway and a longest runway of 7,546 ft / 2,300 m. The airport clock uses Europe/Dublin (BST, UTC+01:00), so cross-date arrivals should be checked against this zone rather than the airline origin city.
Sligo is the closest retained city-time anchor at 46 km. SNN Shannon is the closest retained airport alternative at 135 km.
NOC is compared with SNN Shannon at 135 km, DUB Dublin at 177 km, ORK Cork at 231 km inside the retained Ireland airport set, which is useful when backup airports share the same country context but differ by city, route network, and clock behavior.
NOC-SNN Shannon: 135 km, about 1h 0m, +0h. NOC-DUB Dublin: 177 km, about 1h 3m, +0h. NOC-BFS Belfast: 188 km, about 1h 4m, +0h. NOC-ORK Cork: 231 km, about 1h 8m, +0h. These are distance and timezone references, not live flight availability claims.

OurAirports classifies NOC as a large airport with scheduled service, which gives it stronger planning value than a code-only lookup.
NOC (EIKN) is one of the curated airport pages with a real traffic signal attached: 818,000 passengers, operating from a low-elevation field at 665 ft (203 m).
NOC sits in a broader regional network with 4 nearby curated alternatives, so airline choice and connection strategy are part of the planning story here.
NOC's runway record lists 1 runway, with the longest runway at 7,546 ft / 2,300 m and source surfaces recorded as asphalt.
Civil aviation oversight for NOC runs through Irish Aviation Authority (IAA); a more specific operator record is not currently in our source set.
These operational notes prefer the structured airport facts snapshot, then fall back to the accepted airport reference at irelandwestairport.com, then blend that with local timezone, route, and city-access data already on this page.
These are the specific situations where this airport page earns its keep: time-zone conversion, city transfer planning, nearby airport backup logic, and source-confidence checks before acting.
NOC uses Europe/Dublin (BST, UTC+01:00). Use this before overnight arrivals, cross-date departures, and same-day connections.
Ireland West Airport Knock is about 46 km from central Charlestown; build that transfer into arrival and check-in planning.
SNN Shannon is the closest retained alternate at 135 km, time difference +0h.
irelandwestairport.com is listed as the official airport website in the airport facts snapshot; live schedules, gates, routes, terminals, and NOTAM-sensitive operations still need official airport or airline verification.
These comparisons place NOC inside the retained airport graph by country, timezone, elevation, and coordinate neighbors. They are deterministic dataset facts, not generated flight claims.
NOC ranks #2 in the curated Ireland airport set when large airports are listed before medium airports, then sorted by IATA code. The retained country set has 4 airports.
NOC shares Europe/Dublin with DUB Dublin IE · ORK Cork IE · SNN Shannon IE. This helps separate same-clock airports by city, country, code, and geography.
NOC is 665 ft (203 m). Closest elevation peers in the retained airport set include RMQ 663 ft (202 m) (2 ft delta) · MSQ 670 ft (204 m) (5 ft delta) · CMN 656 ft (200 m) (9 ft delta) · TUL 677 ft (206 m) (12 ft delta) · BHM 650 ft (198 m) (15 ft delta).
NOC's nearest retained coordinate neighbors are SNN 135 km +0h · DUB 177 km +0h · BFS 188 km +0h · ORK 231 km +0h.

Because the airport sits well outside central Charlestown, surface transfer planning matters almost as much as flight timing, especially for late arrivals and early departures.
Sligo is the nearest mapped city anchor in the current dataset, which makes it the cleanest companion page when travelers want to switch from airport timing into local city timing.
Ireland West Airport Knock has 4 nearby indexed airport alternatives, which makes backup departures and diversion logic part of real planning instead of a theoretical edge case.
Airport pages are most useful when they bridge into real city clocks. These city anchors are ranked by distance from NOC, then shown with their own timezone, local time, and time difference from the airport clock.
